Bioshock = One of the best games ever :)

[@Vlad-mx8cl]

haha true

[@GuyOnAChair]

Can't disagree with that!

[@Vlad-mx8cl]

Very true!

The port is ass though.

One of the best things about this game is the audio diary’s

[@whiterabit09]

This is still my favourite game.

[@mgchardcore]

The film "Dark City" from 1998 seems to have been the inspiration for some concepts and ideas in Bioshock, the injection "needles" with plasmids in Bioshock looks a bit like the ones in "Dark City", and the Bioshock creators' former game "System Shock" has the AI/woman with the same face as the face in Dark City covering the clock underground.

[@hadeseus]

Can't remember the story but that movie was an editing disaster. Torture to eyes.

[@caflagel]

@@hadeseusLate response, but you probably saw the Theatrical Version where it feels like there’s a cut every 3-5 seconds. That’s the first version of the film I saw, and even though I loved the movie, I was really thrown off by the editing. You should definitely check out the Director’s Cut. It’s a much better version of the film, and the editing is way less frenetic.

[@hadeseus]

@@caflagel Yeah, I guess I saw that one many years ago. Thanks for the info. I will check the Director's Cut, because I love Bioshock games.

[@caflagel]

@@hadeseus Sweet. Enjoy. 😊

Bioshock is the best saga of videogames of the History !!! I love Bioshock

[@IamJacksColon4]

Guzman Machado ya but the ending was horrible

[@TheNameIsSR]

+IamJacksColon4 I think the ending was pretty good

[@SurviveOnlyStrong]

+IamJacksColon4 I think ending is absolutely terrific.

[@GuyOnAChair]

Best saga? Personally I disagree.

[@Jazzadrin]

Guzman Machado Bioshock 1 as a stand alone title is near perfect and truly phenomenal. Bioshock 2 has amazing gameplay but the story isn’t as engaging and the gameplay is a little too formulaic. Infinite is by far the weakest in the series but still a pretty fun game

A masterpiece in an amazing decade of game releases. Was definitely peak-era for me growing up during my high-school years! Was very jarring at first hearing Shawn Robertson refer to the OG Xbox as "Xbox one" during this interview 😄

[@sjoerddondersteen1337]

nostalgia (for simpler times)

[@ChrisSealy1997]

The one thing that makes this game funny is the fact they used the car crash sounds from the destroy all humans and saints row games for the big daddy bodies in addition to the environmental objects when they are sent flying around

[@mrlarsonlisper9290]

nice, the slowpro is the rumbler from bioshock

[@seizonsha]

Just finished the bioshock 1 and 2 remastered. Part 1 is one of the best games ever made. Part 2 is good but not great as the first. Gonna play infinite.

[@AliciaGuitar]

Cool. Now that my kids are grown up i have started gaming, and my first games i have gotten into are Skyrim and Bioshock. I know these games are "old" but i was used to games from 80s and 90s so to me they are amazing and i cant believe how far games have come in just 20 years!

The Making Of Bioshock (as also expanded upon by the Post Mortem on Gamedevelopers): Starting out with a much depeer experience, then having the playtesters decide over the course of development to "evolve" it into a straight shooter. Unfortunately one that is pretty barebones, completely linear (to a fault), doesn't have great gunplay -- and a finite set of enemies thrown at you en masse over and over. Irrational weren't specialized on straight shooters (and started Bioshock more as an FPS/RPG experience true to their heritage), and it showed. But they finally wanted to make a massive blockbuster and went along to it regardless. Had System Shock 2 focused as much on constant combat, it would have beeen just as meh. Were it not for the setting and the twist (pulled straight fom System Shock 2 to the few who had played it beforehand), nobody would talk much about Bioshock today. Still, it's better if people still talk about Bioshock than Generic COD clone 2007. It took 10 years for Arkane to release Prey -- a game that finally offered some of those amazing choices Ken Levine was hyping up to be in Bioshock when they clearly weren't. To his sole defense, in particularly at that time audiences in particular on consoles were used to extremely scripted set piece shooters, where you're running from point A to B and triggering enemies as well as cutscenes in between (see the funny "Duty Calls" pishtake video still availalbe everyhwere). So he had to win those over as well somehow.
